What sorts of issues have you found?

This seems to work well on my BSD server:


#!mc
on startup
   -- make the stack:
   create stack "tt"
   -- set some props to verify it's working:
   set the destroyStack of stack "tt" to true
   set the uTT of stack "tt" to the long seconds
   -- put it away:
   set the filename of stack "tt" to "data/test.mc"
   save stack "tt"
   close stack "tt"
   -- send something back to the browser:
   put "test-- "& the long seconds into tData
   put "Content-Type: text/html" & crlf &\
      "Content-Length:"&& length(tData) & crlf & crlf
   put tData
end startup
